I am doing e. The title of my book is Code Talker.
The book I read was Code Talkers and was very good. It was about a Navajo Boy who learned English because of the United State’s laws. He did so well in school they sent him to middle school and then to high school. When he was a junior, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, HI. He then went to war at age 16. Two things I found surprising in the book were that the Japanese never surrendered in battle, and that even after the war, Navajo Code Talkers were given no recognition. The surprising thing about the book was the Japanese would never surrender. In banzai attacks,” Many of the Japanese soldiers would die without killing much of our men.” He even said the Japanese would come out with just sharpened sticks to try and kill troops. Also kamikazes would kill you but take their own life as well. Soldiers on the Imperial Army believed you were worthless if you surrendered instead of committing suicide. At least they were respected by their people after the war. One other thing that shocked me was that after the war, even though the Navajos had fought in the war, they were treated the same after coming home. When he was brought back to Arizona, he went to a bar. He was still wearing his camouflage hat, jacket, and pants, but was kicked out for being Navajo. It wasn’t until 1969 when the rights were won that he would also get recognition. In my opinion it was as unfair as shooting a fish in a barrel. The book was overall very good. I would recommend the book to anyone who likes WWII books, or action books. Still, the Japanese were given recognition for killing themselves, but the Navajos weren’t given anything for saving lives.
